Real Pro Wrestling, based out of Nashville, Tennessee, is strictly an amateur-style league. The bouts will kick off on national U.S. television on Sunday afternoon on PAX TV. This broadcast will be followed up with various Fox Sports Net stations across the States.

"After almost four years and countless hours of focus and dedication we are proud to announce the long-awaited television debut of Real Pro Wrestling -- this Sunday, March 27th at 4EST (3CST) on PAX TV," said RPW's vice president of marketing, Chris Chickering, in a release on the company's website.

RPW is showing a nine-week schedule on both networks thus far.

The RPW shows will feature former Olympic champion Rulon Gardner in the broadcast booth. In a letter on RPW's website, Gardner expressed his excitement over the new league. "RPW provides great athletes a forum to showcase their talent, training and athleticism at the highest level.
